Question

Hello, I have three questions to ask! It's very important, and it would be amazing if you could help me answer it :)!

1. The Dodgers are up at bat during the World Series. Joc Pederson swings his baseball bat and it collides perfectly with the baseball. Identify the action and reaction forces when the bat hits the baseball. 

   
    Action force: 
    Reaction force:


2.When a car hits an insect, the car puts the same amount of force on the insect as the insect puts on the car just in opposite directions. 

True

False





3. In the picture below, sphere X swings down and collides with sphere Y. Identify the action and reaction forces. 

Action force: 
Reaction force: 

(The picture is only for number 3).


​

Answer 1

1.) The bat exerts a force on the ball. This is the action force. The ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the bat. This is the reaction force.

2.) True! The force of the bug on the windshield is equal to the force of the windshield on the bug, only in the opposite direction.

3.) This is Newton’s third law and the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is the same as the total momentum of the two objects after the collision. (Reaction) The momentum of each object may change, but the total momentum must remain the same.

Answer 2
